From the meeting
The EQC considered revised Sustainable Building Policy language for development projects receiving city financial assistance. The revisions tighten requirements around energy efficiency, electrification, renewable energy, and approved certification paths such as LEED, B3, Passive House, and Parksmart. City staff said the policy would affect future projects that seek TIF, grants, loans, or land write-downs, so it shapes how assisted development will be designed and financed.
Council action was still pending after the EQC recommendation.
